I am a work from home Mom in my 30's. I recently discovered the tutorial blogging world and have enjoyed making cool things! I decided to start doing parties for those mom's that want to make things, but just don't have the time, ideas, or place to do it. Join me, lets have some fun and make super cute things!

Ruffle back pack/purse

I HIGHLY recommend making the straps wider (these were a pain to turn) and if you want it as a backpack for yourself, I recommend making them longer as well (this size is for a child). I think it would be an awesome diaper bag. It is quite large, I didn't realize how large it would be from the pictures.

Well, I used a fabric with a pattern for the lining (I think that she just used white) and then instead of fabric for my pull string, I used an entire roll of ribbon (I think it was 3yds). I put the two ends together and sewed it up so that it had a print on each side. That is all. I am very in love with the color though!

Throw a "Crafting with Kista Party"

Throw a party with your friends where we get together and make a fun craft! Depending on the cost of materials, it would be $5-$10 per person and the host would get theirs for free!
Contact me at craftingwithkista@yahoo.com to schedule a party!

About Me

I love to make things so much, that I thought I would share the excitement of making cute things yourself, rather than buying them at expensive prices.
I also have a small business making baby blankets and such things:
